Question

verify whether the values of x=-1/3 and x=1/2 are the zeros of the polynomial p(x)=3x+1or not? full answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/3 is the zero of the polynomial $p(x)= 3x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial  $p(x) = 3x+1$

zero of polynomial is the number value which give 0 on substituting in the place of variable of a particular polynomial

1) substitute x= -1/3 ⇒ $p(x) = 3x + 1$

                                $p(\frac{-1}{3} )$ =  $3 (\frac{-1}{3}) +1$

                                          = -1 +1 = 0

there fore  -1/3 is zero of the polynomial $p(x)=3x+1$

2) substitute x= 1/2 ⇒ $p(\frac{1}{2} ) = 3 ( \frac{1}{2} )+1$

                                            = $\frac{3}{2} +1$

                                           = 5/2 which is not equals to 0

  therefore  1/2 is not zero of the polynomial $p(x)= 3x+1$
